  The output unit 104 has a function of outputting (for example, displaying or printing) information on the service provided by the service providing unit 103.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a flow of control processing of the POS terminal 1. In FIG. 5, the control unit 100 determines whether or not a product code has been input from the barcode reader 9 (step S11). If it is determined that it has been input (Yes in step S11), the control unit 100 reads product information corresponding to the input product code from the product master in the memory unit 24, and displays the display for the clerk 5 and the customer display. This is displayed on the part 6 (step S12). And the control part 100 memorize | stores the read merchandise information in the merchandise information storage part 231 (step S13). Then, the control unit 100 returns to step S11 and waits for the input of the next product code.

  On the other hand, when determining that the product code is not input (No in Step S11), the control unit 100 determines whether or not the subtotal key 41 is operated (Step S21). If it is determined that the subtotal key 41 has not been operated (No in step S21), the control unit 100 returns to step S11 and waits. If it is determined that the subtotal key 41 has been operated (Yes in step S21), the control unit 100 generates payment information such as a total amount and a payment amount based on the product information stored in the product information storage unit 231. A settlement information generation process is executed (step S22). Then, the control unit 100 determines whether or not the credit declaration key 42 is operated by the store clerk during the payment information generation process (step S23).

  When it is determined that the credit declaration key 42 has been operated (Yes in step S23), the control unit 100 executes a credit settlement process with the card shown in FIG. 6 (step S24). On the other hand, if it is determined that the credit declaration key 42 has not been operated (No in step S23), the control unit 100 executes a settlement process other than the credit settlement process (step S25). Then, the type of payment processed is stored in the payment type storage unit 232 (step S26).

  And the control part 100 judges whether the discount process was performed in the case of the said payment (step S27). If it is determined that the discount process has been executed (Yes in step S27), the control unit 100 stores the executed discount amount in the discount amount storage unit 233 as discount information (step S28). Then, the control unit 100 determines whether or not the payment process has been completed (step S29).

  The determination as to whether or not the payment is completed in step S29 is made based on whether or not there is an unsettled amount among the payment amounts generated in step S22. The control unit 100 determines that the settlement has ended when the unsettled amount is “0 yen”, and determines that the settlement has not ended when the unsettled amount is not “0 yen”. When it is determined that the payment process has been completed (Yes in step S29), the control unit 100 ends the process as it is. If it is determined that the payment process has not ended (No in step S29), the control unit 100 returns to step S23 and waits. When it is determined that the discount process is not executed (No in step S27), the control unit 100 determines step S29 without executing step S28.

  Next, the flow of the credit settlement process in step S24 will be shown using FIG. When the credit declaration key 42 is operated in step S23 of FIG. 5, the control unit 100 displays a message prompting the card operation on the store clerk display unit 5 (step S41).

  FIG. 7 is a diagram in which the control unit 100 displays the message displayed in step S <b> 41 on the store clerk display unit 5. In FIG. 7, the control unit 100 displays a total amount (1500 yen) for purchasing the product in an area 51. In addition, the control unit 100 displays the discount amount stored in the discount amount storage unit 233 in step S28 in the area 52. In the example of FIG. 7, the discount amount is 0 yen. The control unit 100 also displays a pop-up 53 that prompts the store clerk to insert and operate the card into the card reader 8. The store clerk who sees the display performs an operation of receiving the card from the customer, inserting it into the card reader 8, and pulling it forward.

  Returning to the description of FIG. The controller 100 determines whether or not the store clerk has operated the card (step S42). The control unit 100 waits until there is an operation (No in step S42). If it is determined that there is an operation (Yes in step S42), the control unit 100 (acquiring unit 101) is provided in the card reader 8. The credit information stored in the operated card is magnetically read by a reading unit (not shown) (step S43). And the control part 100 memorize | stores the read credit information in the credit information storage part 234 of RAM23 (step S44).

  The credit information storage unit 234 stores information on a specific credit company, information on a specific type of card, and information on a predetermined age or older. These pieces of information are information necessary for credit processing, and are not originally information for providing a service.

  Next, the control unit 100 determines whether or not the card is a valid card from the information on the expiration date of the card in the credit information stored in the credit information storage unit 234 (step S45). If it is determined that the card is not valid (No in step S45), the control unit 100 ends the process as it is. If it is determined that the card is valid (Yes in step S45), the control unit 100 determines from the stored credit information whether the card is a card of a specific credit company to be discounted. (Step S46). If it is determined that the card is of a specific credit company (Yes in step S46), the control unit 100 (determination means 102) uses the stored credit information to determine that the card is of a specific type to be discounted. It is determined whether or not it is a card (step S47). In the embodiment, the house card issued by the store is a specific type of card. It should be noted that any type of card may be used as the specific card as long as the card can be distinguished from other general cards.

  If the control unit 100 determines that the card is of a specific type (Yes in step S47), then the control unit 100 displays the customer's birth date information of the stored credit information and the current time measured by the timer 25. The age of the customer is calculated from the date and time information (step S48).

  Then, the control unit 100 (determination unit 102) determines whether or not the customer's age is equal to or greater than a predetermined age to be discounted (step S49). In the embodiment, as an example, the predetermined age is 65 years or older. If the control unit 100 determines that the customer's age is greater than or equal to the predetermined age (Yes in step S49), then the control unit 100 performs a discount today from the current date and time information counted by the timer 25. It is determined whether it is a specific day of the week (step S50). In the embodiment, Sunday is a specific day as an example. Note that the determination in step S50 may be a determination as to whether or not it is a specific date on which the discount is performed, instead of determining whether or not it is a specific day of the week. Further, the specific day of the week or the specific day may be a plurality of days of the week or dates.

  If it is determined that today is a specific day of the week (Yes in step S50), the control unit 100 then determines whether or not payment processing other than credit payment has already been performed in the payment to the customer (step S51). ). In the embodiment, in order to discount the total amount of product purchase, the credit settlement processing is performed on the total amount of product purchase as a condition for executing the discount processing. Therefore, the existence of another settlement is a condition for prohibiting discounts in the embodiment. Therefore, the determination in step S51 is executed. The control unit 100 determines the determination in step S51 based on whether or not other payment type information is stored in the payment type storage unit 232. When other payment type information is stored in the payment type storage unit 232, the control unit 100 determines that a condition for prohibiting discounts is satisfied.

  If it is determined that payment processing other than credit payment has not been performed (No in step S51), the control unit 100 then determines whether another discount processing has already been performed (step S52). When other discount processing has already been executed, if the discount is executed in addition, a double discount is generated, and the burden on the store increases. For this reason, in the embodiment, double discount processing is prohibited, and the control unit 100 executes the determination in step S52. The control unit 100 determines the determination in step S <b> 52 based on whether or not other discount information is stored in the discount amount storage unit 233. When other discount information is stored in the discount amount storage unit 233, the control unit 100 determines that the condition for prohibiting discounts is satisfied.

  If it is determined that no other discount processing has been executed (No in step S52), the control unit 100 calculates a discount amount on the assumption that the conditions for executing the discount are satisfied for the settlement using the credit (step S53). ). The discount amount is calculated by multiplying the total amount of product purchase by a fixed rate (5% in the embodiment). The control unit 100 calculates a discounted amount of 75 yen by multiplying the total amount of 1500 yen by a rate of 5%. And the control part 100 displays a pop-up on the display part 5 for shop assistants about the calculated discount amount (step S54). A similar display is also displayed on the customer display unit 6.

  FIG. 8 is an example of the discounted amount displayed on the store clerk display unit 5. In FIG. 8, the control unit 100 displays a total amount (1,500 yen) for product purchase in an area 63. The control unit 100 also displays a pop-up 61 that displays the credit company and age information and the calculated discounted amount (75 yen). The customer confirms by looking at the discounted amount displayed on the customer display unit 6. The clerk looks at the pop-up 61 and confirms the display items. Then, the clerk operates the confirmation key 62 according to the display. Specifically, the touch panel 10 corresponding to the position of the confirmation key 62 displayed on the store clerk display unit 5 is touched.

  The control unit 100 determines whether or not the confirmation key 62 has been operated (step S55). It waits until it is operated (No in step S55), and when it is determined that it has been operated (Yes in step S55), the control unit 100 (service providing means 103) determines the specific discount based on the confirmed discount amount. Assuming that the condition is satisfied, specific discount processing is executed (step S56), and the total amount after discount is calculated. Then, the control unit 100 displays the display screen on which the discounted amount is fixed on the store clerk display unit 5 and the customer display unit 6 (step S57).

  FIG. 9 is an example of a display screen that is displayed on the store clerk display unit 5 and that executes the specific discount process. The control unit 100 displays the confirmed discount amount (75 yen) in the area 71. Further, the control unit 100 displays the total amount (1425 yen) obtained by subtracting the discounted amount (75 yen) from the total amount (1,500 yen) of the product purchase in the area 72. In addition, the control unit 100 displays the total amount (1425 yen) after the specific discount process on the customer display unit 6.

  Next, the control unit 100 executes a credit settlement process (step S58). FIG. 10 is an example of display on the display section 5 for the clerk after the credit settlement process is executed. In FIG. 10, the control unit 100 displays the total amount (1,500 yen) of product purchase in an area 81. In addition, the control unit 100 displays the calculated discount amount (75 yen) in the area 82. In addition, the control unit 100 displays, in the area 83, the credit settlement processing amount (1425 yen) obtained by performing the credit settlement processing based on the total amount (1425 yen).

  After the credit settlement process, the control unit 100 (output unit 104) prints and issues a credit sales slip on which the transaction items are printed by the printing unit 7 (step S59). FIG. 11 shows an example of the issued credit sales slip 91. In FIG. 11, the credit sales slip 91 is printed with a total price 92 of the target product, a discount price 93, a total price 94 after the discount, credit information 95 such as a credit company name and member information, a credit settlement processing price 96, and the like. ing.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S51 that payment processing other than credit payment is being performed (Yes in step S51), the control unit 100 displays an error message indicating that the discount cannot be made by credit payment, as a display unit 5 for the clerk. Are displayed on the customer display unit 6 (step S63). FIG. 12 is an example of an error message displayed on the clerk display unit 5. In FIG. 12, the area 111 displays the total amount of the target product (1500 yen). In the area 112, an amount (1000 yen) for executing the credit settlement process is displayed. In addition, a pop-up 113 in which credit payment is not possible is displayed. In the example of FIG. 12, since other settlement processing has already been performed for 500 yen (1500 yen-1000 yen), the control unit 100 determines that the case is a multiple settlement and discounts by credit settlement. A pop-up 113 for prohibiting is displayed. And the control part 100 performs the process of step S58.

  If it is determined in step S52 that another discount process is being executed (Yes in step S52), the control unit 100 displays an error message that prohibits this because a double discount is displayed. 5 and the customer display unit 6 (step S61). FIG. 13 is an example of an error message displayed on the clerk display unit 5. In FIG. 13, the area 121 displays a discount amount (150 yen). In the area 122, an amount (1350 yen) for executing the credit settlement process is displayed. In addition, a pop-up 123 indicating that double discount is not possible is displayed. In the example of FIG. 13, it is shown that a discount process of 150 yen has already been executed, and the control unit 100 displays a pop-up 123 that prohibits further discount processes.

  Then, the control unit 100 determines whether or not an operation for canceling other discount processing that has already been performed has been performed (step S62). If it is determined that the cancel operation has not been performed (No in step S62), the control unit 100 executes the process in step S58. If it is determined that an operation for canceling has been performed (Yes in step S62), the control unit 100 executes cancel processing for canceling the discount that has already been executed (step S64). And the control part 100 returns to step S23, and performs a credit payment process from the beginning.

  In addition, when the control unit 100 determines that the card is not a specific credit company card (No in step S46) or when it is determined that the card is not a specific type of card (No in step S47), the customer's age is When it is determined that it is not over the predetermined age (No in step S49) and when it is determined that today is not the specific day of the week when the discount is performed (No in step S50), the condition for executing the specific discount is not satisfied. The process proceeds to step S58 without executing the discount process.

  As described above, in the embodiment, when a plurality of pieces of information stored in the card and acquired from the card satisfy a condition for providing a service, a specific discount is executed for the customer. Appropriate service can be reliably provided to the customer without depending on the judgment of the store clerk.

  Further, according to the embodiment, the clerk does not have to determine whether or not the service provision condition is satisfied.

  In addition, according to the embodiment, the customer's age is calculated from the date of birth stored in the card, and whether or not this age is a predetermined age or more is a condition for providing the service. Service can be provided.

  In addition, according to the embodiment, since the type of card is a condition for providing a service, even if the card is from the same credit company, the service is provided to customers who carry a specific card (for example, a house card). be able to.

  In addition, according to the embodiment, when a settlement process other than the credit settlement is executed, the control unit 100 does not execute the discount process, and thus executes the discount process for all the total amount of purchases. can do.

  Further, according to the embodiment, when another discount process is being executed, the control unit 100 does not execute the discount process, and thus can prevent double discount. Therefore, the burden on the store can be reduced.

  Further, according to the embodiment, the control unit 100 displays the discounted information on the display unit 5 for the clerk and the display unit 6 for the customer, or prints it on the credit sales slip, so that the clerk and the customer confirm the discount amount. can do.
